Decided to pamper myself to a pedicure which was about 1hr long which included a foot massage. It was heaven on earth especially after not being able to touch my toes for the past several weeks since I'm pregnant.

I don't go here currently. When I did go here for services, I would have different gals cut my hair. When I saw this one haircut gal one day at the salon, I asked if she could cut my hair, well, guess what? This gal cut my hair for 12 years! She didn't work at Changes during the whole 12 years. Had another gal that I went to for massage services. She had the magic touch, this was the first time I ever got a massage.
Glad that I came here for services. I was also fortunate to be able to attend Changes 15 anniversary party. Both ladies that provided me services where there that evening. The party rocked! Rock on Changes!

This is a 3 star day spa at best. There is a lot of fluff and they try to ding you for every little thing. I find they really don't care about your experience. They have given me slippers with 2 left feet. When I brought it to their attention they asked if I wanted something done about it. Worst massage I ever had. More like half a body instead of a full body. I had problems there before with facials too and they just have a no accountability attitude it seems. I only went back because I was given a gift card. There are so many better places in the area to receive services without all the fluff and sales. This is a place that just wants to sell products.

I have been a regular client at Changes Spa for almost 5 years and they never disappoint. The atmosphere is warm and relaxing, the receptionists are always very friendly, quick and professional and the facilities are well kept. There is an attention to detail that makes the experience complete: the relaxation room with tea and snacks, the heated towels and aromatherapy (if preferred) during the massage treatment, and the overall cleanliness and neatness.
I am a triathlete and a picky massage client and I find the massage staff and Natalia, in particular to be exceptional. She has the true gift of healer and she has great knowledge of injuries and how to manage them with intuitive and in depth bodywork. If I skip a massage visit, my body will let me know.
